Playing P3R is making me realize how annoying it was that in 5 you’d clear a dungeon and then have 2 weeks of holding pattern in the story until you hit the original scheduled finish time

I think this vid illustrates the different yukaris (ignore the dumb crap added by the uploader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2ykApidWck Yukari is being mean to poor junpei in both versions but the p3p one comes across meaner thanks to the portrait specifically illustrating yukari’s annoyance and the va’s tone / enunciation.

I don't know if this was there in the original but (Moon Rank 9 spoilers) the link Reversing and then returning to normal in the same event is fantastic..

In P3 you can clear a dungeon as much as you can after two days and then just have to wait around until a full moon. I guess in P5 beating the boss early sort of deflates any tension for the rest of the month.

I do not remember the Hanged Man being like this in the original. that was a grudge match it even used the infamous Nocturne Mot tactic of “give myself more turns, and then give myself more turns with those turns”

Honestly it's most notable with the fourth Palace, because the 'reason' they gave for why they don't just end the deadline if you clear the palace on the first day is just silly.

I completely forgot about the whole missing persons thing and ended up getting screwed out of a couple night slots having to jump back to Tartarus but now I do appreciate that it kind of flips the script and you actually want to wait and backload your Tartarus runs until all the missing persons can be scooped up in one go vs blitzing it down as soon as the new area opens up. If you finish Maiko's S.Link do they still end up getting lost in Tartarus, even though they've "moved far away"?

The meanest 'lost person' is that one person who gets lost literally the day after Shinjiro joins, 2 days before the next Full Moon. Meaning if you didn't already know about it chances are you probably went into Tartarus that stretch already.

I mean, if you know about lost people in general you should be waiting for the last minute all the time anyway; there's really no excuse by the time you get Shinjiro. Maybe saving one day after so you can get extra courage from the nurse's drink.

Really enjoying Reload so far. I think it helps that it’s been a long time since I did a play though of P3, so it feels extra fresh even though I’ve been through it all before. E: I just realized my avatar was one I made back when P3:FES came out and I never changed it. Wild.

I'm starting to really enjoy this as I gradually realize how little I remember about this game. For some reason I thought the stuff with Fuuka was even later in the game (I think because none of my attempted replays ever got past her, if they even got that far). I literally have no idea what happens between this and the ending except I think at some point you go to a love hotel for the full moon event, and at another point you go to an island. Also Ikutsuki reveals he's evil at some point. Ryoji and Aegis also show up at some point. And I remember the broad details of the situation with Ken and Shinjiro, where the latter dies. It also helps that the gameplay has been genuinely compelling due to Merciless actually being difficult. Stuff like fusing is more enjoyable when I feel like I'm getting a tangible benefit from it, while in P5R it felt like I was just making myself even more OP.

This is the dumbest complaint ever and absolutely not anything substantial, especially because I only noticed due to the quite frankly insane amount of poring I've done over P5, but a bunch of the incidental background NPCs are imported directly from P5 (or have slight modifications to make their school uniforms fit and stuff like that). I get why they did it, but they don't quite gel with the look of basically anyone with a portrait and also the light hits them weirdly, they've got baked shadows on their faces that don't look right. It's just uncanny to me. The only time this crosses over into "okay, they legitimately should have done more work on this" for me is that Mr. Edogawa's model has a similar issue where it's way lower-detail than most of the others.

Do the Link Episodes have to be done the day they first appear? That's what I've been trying to do, but I've seen some of them conflict with each other or a unique hangout, so I'm not entirely sure.

I want to say Aigis is probably the least busted, at least... so far. No notable real improvements from her original version yet (I'm only up to August), and her Theurgy can be a drawback at times.

I just use the characters I like the most since you can load the protag up with anything they’re missing and have a round table of weaknesses to exploit. Then again I’m playing on a lighter difficulty so what do I know

I like how Yuri Lowenthal, Tara Platt, Grant George, Liam O'Brien, and Michelle Ruff all got to play some named role from the original and so far the only time I've heard Karen loving Strassman is that random "Tough Chick" from the back alley when Junpei, Yukari, and the MC blunder over there in June. Good. e: also, I feel like I have heard Xander Mobus and Sean Chiplock several times already, lol

I've been doing the Japanese dub because I like to see the differences between how they translated things vs how I do upon listening. Junpei is a lot more goofy/fun in his original voice and even some of the lines end up coming across a lot more bratty in their English translation. Combining that with his original English voice back in the day, I can see why I really bounced hard off the character vs now where I can actually see his charming side.

This feels like a side effect of the original game only having the instant kill spells for light and dark. Those were only worth gambling on if an enemy was only weak to those elements and even then it was still a shaky proposition
